Chaos Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 I find it interesting that this was the rare RAW where there was actual character development and progression in different stories and feuds for everything except the Shane McMahon nonsense which just seems to be there for no other reason than fake internet outcry.

MGFanJay Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Fuck yes it was! Main event was a bit bizarre, but still good and we got the Biz Cliz in WWE as...kinda Outsiders, only JBL and his "sources" knew - so not really. http://jayreviewsthings.blogspot.com/2016/04/wwe-raw-4-11-16.html Raw is Screens - http://www.imagebam.com/gallery/r0xox9y0ayjanigx6w55666n77z52a2u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nate Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 I do want to add, though, that fuck JBL was probably worse than he's been in a few shows. Needs to be shuttled off to, I don't know, Velocity. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Moose Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Great show aside from having the champ play FIP for the Wyatts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisM Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Are we sure Shane isn't actually giving some creative input? The past couple of weeks have seemed like a slight reboot, honestly. Hell, even Dr. Phil was entertaining! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you trying to tell me that Julius Erving and George Gervin never competed in the NWA? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted April 12, 2016 Author Share Posted April 12, 2016 I enjoyed the hell out of every segment. It's fascinating how all these guys are fitting specific roles. The Miz and Maryse, holy shit, they are a great act. Cesaro's Transporter deal is awesome too. The suit and the earpiece. He looks like a star. Bray, even though the face turn was abrupt, I think it's going to work out well for him. AJ Styles is basically the Ace in-ring dude, when he's out there you know it's going to be a great match. Sami might be able to fit into the Bryan role though hopefully we don't have to wait that long but he's super over. The Ole' chants.. The singing along to his theme.. it's all A+. Owens is a tremendous heel who does all of the little things. The women's division.. that was a good match with Natty/Charlotte. The tag division is getting some focus and I haven't even mentioned The Bullet Club showing up. This was an excellent utilization of 3 hours. Hell, I loved Jericho and Dean's segment too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nice Guy Eddie Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 I got home just in time to see Gallows and Anderson. Between that and Sami vs. AJ, I'm satisfied tonight. So, Epico and Primo switched careers from wrestling matadors to wrestling travel agents? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick B. Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Long-ass Cesaro-Owens and Styles-Zayn matches. Anderson/Gallows debut and keep their finisher name. Tag tourney. Good women's match to set up more in the future. Cole says "New Japan" on Raw. Bray's a good guy. It's an interesting time in professional wrestling. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Comedian Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Yeah everything I saw tonight was pretty much on point...it was like they could do no wrong...I mean shit they had a lengthy-for-Raw women's match based around matwork and featuring a wrestler who's been toiling at valet/jobber level for years and the crowd ate it up...

piranesi Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 This was like a golden age one-hour Nitro that had marquee matches that moved feuds forward without blowing off big upcoming matches too and and somehow was longer but still golden and with a great women's match. Hell, Enzo/Cass remind me of a solid WCW team and Anderson/Gallows was straight up a Biscoff style run in of two giants that left everyone shitting their pants.

piranesi Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Reigns heel reaction is kind of impressive at this point. If the talk in last week's thread comes true about turning AJ to try and keep Roman a face, they really are idiots. They have a solid match with real heat if they just let it be what it is.

Nice Guy Eddie Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Maybe Wrestlemania was WWE hitting rock bottom. Hopefully, it keeps getting better from here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nate Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 I hadn't seen Enzo & Cass before their debut (minus the March Madness stuff) but I'm going to watch Smackdown for the first time in years to see them wrestle the fuckin Ascension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nofuture Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Any word on Kalisto? Looked like his collar bone might of broke there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godfrey Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Sami's selling was so on point tonight that I legit thought he was injured several times in the AJ match. Fantastic night all around. Hope that Kalisto injury isn't legit but the match afterwards looked a little cobbled together so it could be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piranesi Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Also how much basic simple sense is it to have a face like Dean exist just to show up and torture heels? It's so simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
